Overview
- The Staff Selection Commission published the official SSC CGL 2026 notification and opened online registration on Thursday, May 21, with applications accepted through June 22 and fees payable until June 23.
- The notification lists a provisional total of 12,256 vacancies for Group B and C posts and says detailed post‑wise and category‑wise vacancy numbers will be released later by the Commission.
- Tier‑I will be held in computer‑based mode in August–September 2026 and Tier‑II is scheduled for December 2026, with an application correction window set for June 29–July 1 to amend submitted forms for a prescribed fee.
- Most applicants must pay a Rs 100 fee online via BHIM UPI, net banking or debit card while women, SC, ST, PwBD and eligible ex‑servicemen are exempted, and all paid fees are non‑refundable.
- SSC CGL is the main gateway to central government jobs such as auditors, inspectors, accountants and junior statistical officers, so the timeline and vacancy revisions will determine hiring across ministries and influence candidates' exam preparation and document planning.
